For musicians, getting your music on Spotify can significantly increase your reach and visibility. While it's a bit more complex than uploading a video to TikTok, it's definitely manageable. Here’s how you can add your custom songs to Spotify:

Step 1: Prepare Your Music

Before you can add your custom songs to Spotify, you need to make sure they are ready for distribution. This means having high-quality audio files (like WAV or FLAC), album artwork, and song metadata (including song title, artist name, album name, and genre).

Step 2: Choose a Music Distribution Service

Spotify does not allow direct uploads from individual artists. Instead, you need to use a music distribution service like SoundOn. These services act as intermediaries, ensuring your music gets onto streaming platforms correctly.

Step 3: Create an Account and Upload Your Music

Sign up for a distribution service and upload your music. You'll need to provide all the necessary information, like your song files, album artwork, and metadata. Depending on the service, there might be a small fee or a subscription model.

Step 4: Wait for Approval

Once your music is submitted, the distribution service will review it and send it to Spotify and other streaming platforms. This process can take anywhere from a few days to a couple of weeks.

Step 5: Promote Your Music

After your music is live on Spotify, promotion is crucial. Use platforms like TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook to let your fans know where they can stream your songs. Share links and create engaging content to drive traffic to your Spotify page.
